Synopsis

Saindhav

Set in the fictional port city Chandraprastha, Saindhav Koneru alias "SaiKo" has a dark past, leading a quaint family life with his daughter Gayathri and caretaker Manogya. However, SaiKo's life takes a drastic turn when Gayathri is diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy and requires an injection of Zolgensma, which costs ₹17 crore. Saindhav goes back to the world of crime to extract money for obtaining the money required to treat Gayathri. The crux of the story remains with how Saindhav obtains the vaccine even after knowing that Gayathri is no more, only to help thousands of children like her who are suffering from SMA.

Overall, “Saindhav” is a huge letdown. Nothing except boredom is provided by this action drama. The film has no redeeming qualities at all. The incessant flow of action episodes makes no sense, and the audience gets perplexed as to why so many violent action scenes come one after the other. This film is a perfect ‘no’ for entertainment seekers, and even the action film lovers find it abhorring and taxing to the mind, as there is no emotional part to connect with what is happening on the screen. This is a big shock of how Venkatesh agreed to this script for his milestone 75th film.

On paper, everything seems good for Saindhav. But the film falters in the narration and gets lost in the translation on screen. Technically, the film is flawless with a rich production design and made on a large scale. However, it couldn’t save this action thriller. The background score neither enhances the viewing experience nor leaves a lasting impact. The dragged portions need to be trimmed.
